Do you Blogger?

With the recent changes Google has done for Blogger / blogspot, have you migrated to Blogger as your blog service?

Do you plan to leave your previous blog service or self hosted blog because of the changes?

Some tech bloggers, enthusiasts and journalists have opted to blog using Google+ or Blogger now. Do you see the SEO advantage as well? Or SEO is too old, dying and now being killed by social search instead?

Google+ has four new shiny features that I like!

On a post by Vic Gundotra, Senior Vice President at Google, they have launched 4 new features. Among 4, 3 of them I actually use and like. Among 3, 2 will probably be useful and fun for everyone and among those 2, 1 will change the way we post photos on a social network.

Last but not the Least: Google Apps Customers Can Now Use Google+


This one should have been there during the launch. So it's good to know that companies or organizations that are using Google Apps can now use Google+. This will also open the gate for more G+ users.

PS. Rather than sharing a long opinion about every feature, I thought that I don't have to write anything about these anymore since the videos are self-explanatory.

Sony Ericsson is now Sony Sony?

On a press release sent to the media, Ericsson announces that Sony has acquired their stake in Sony Ericsson. This of course is not surprising since Sony is very public already with their intention to expand their Sony Entertainment Network (PSN/Playstation Network on PSP and PS3) across different platforms.

To quote:

"We can more rapidly and more widely offer consumers smartphones, laptops, tablets and televisions that seamlessly connect with one another and open up new worlds of online entertainment. This includes Sony's own acclaimed network services, like the PlayStation Network and Sony Entertainment Network," said Sir Howard Stringer, Sony's Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President.

Now, I just can't wait for the Vita's release. (totally off-topic)

This Blog is made to test out the Google+ integration to Blogger once it becomes active.

I am in no way an employee of Google and just want to try out the upcoming changes in a fresh blog.
